Letter: Supreme Court to blame for legal status of white supremacists

On March 21 you ran an editorial from the Washington Post criticizing our approach to white supremacy. That editorial failed to recognize that a faulty interpretation of the First Amendment by our own Supreme Court is what has granted legal status to white supremacists and other hate groups like the Nazis and the KKK.

There is no constitutional need to harbor groups opposed to the fundamental principle of the constitution itself and American life generally. We have formed a union to protect our human rights and no group or individual dedicated to destroying those rights, whether for the whole people or part of the people, should be tolerated as having a right to exist among us. They are enemies and should be treated as such.

No Jew should have to worry about Nazis, no black person about the KKK or white supremacists. And it is a fundamental error, followed by gross negligence, that allows these groups to exist, grow and flourish within our country and other free countries.
